j_martell Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Transmission temp/level sensor forcing a shut down? Quote Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I think its the oil temp light. The oil temp and oil pressure are the same sensor. If you have an MP 8 the oil temp/pressure sensor is behind the Engine ECU. You will see 2 sensors that look alike, one on top of the other. The top one is the oil temp/pressure, the bottom one is the crankcase pressure sensor. On the right side of the engine in the oil filter housing is the piston oil cooler temp sensor. Check all 3 sensor for leaking (wicking) oil, if any are leaking(wicking), replace them. All 3 sensor have been updated so it would be a good idea just to do all 3.But like Kyle Gandy asked, whats the code? Without the code it just guesses.

Macktech689 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 The oil temp sensor is actually in the oil pan combined with the oil level sensor. double check the coolant level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe i missed it, but is it an auto or stick? If an auto, low/hot fluid might warrant a shutdown. Codes would definately help with diagnosis.
